Patricia Ann Berry's Obituary
Patricia Ann Berry, age 95, died peacefully, surrounded by her family at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital in Germantown, Tennessee on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
She was born on August 24, 1929 in Jersey City, New Jersey to Marie and Frank DeGeorge. She married Robert Melvin Berry of Cranston, Rhode Island on April 18, 1953.
Patricia and her family lived in many different states: New Jersey, Hawaii, Wisconsin, and finally Tennessee. Patricia was a member of St. Louis Catholic Church - Memphis, Tennessee for many years.
She will be remembered for her impeccable style, her beautiful handwriting, and for her love of her four Cairn Terriers, (over the years) - Giovanni, Giuseppe, Maggio, and Giorgio.
Patricia loved to dance, dine out, and go to see movies, plays, and concerts. More than anything, she loved Frank Sinatra, and had the pleasure of seeing him live in concert numerous times.
She was and always will be a proud Italian “Jersey Girl”, where family came first!
As a wonderful Mother, Nana, Godmother, and Friend, she remained the matriarch of her family and was a true inspiration for all who knew her and loved her.
